Tasting Notes
"The nose is oddly soapy, with a lot of young smelling grain spirit at first that gradually gives way to vanilla, apples, ginger, raisin, sawdust, and smoke. On the palate, there is an assault of oak carrying some smoke and spice, but mostly just a woody, waxy affair. Beneath that lurks apricot, cinnamon, clove, and more smoke. The finish brings dark chocolate, bitter orange, and a bit of nuttiness. An odd mix of influences that certainly doesn't recall ancient Asian caravansaries but might remind you of a slightly smokier Irish whiskey. "
